Tasting - Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado

Name: Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado
Variety: Tempranillo
Region: Granada
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $3.95

Winery Review: 
Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.

My Review: This rosé was extremely interesting from start to finish. The nose was kind of earthy and fruity and had some almost metallic qualities. The first thing I noticed about the taste was the careful tingling that I found very different and cool. It was fresh, with just the right amount of fruit and the finish was tart and dry. There was one flavor in it that I found excellent but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. 

I did not try this with food.
